I think Rollins would be a very silly mistake. We all know how well he will be playing by his 37th birthday but I've been saying for a while that he fits the Giants obsession with aging shortstops.

I don't think Beltran is coming back because an American League team will offer him a crazy contract to DH for them. He might come back if the Giants were to pick up Reyes and he'll consider coming back with a guy like Crisp, though it seems far less likely.

I think you'll see Crawford and Fontenot at short, Crisp in center, Belt in left, and Schierholtz in right unless Lincecum & Cain get very serious with the management regarding run support expectations.

Ian, dude you should write for BR... You have a lot of "common sense" and I think it'll be good for Giant Fans to read your articles and thoughts. Also, whats you're take on upcoming FA? Beltran coming back? Giant needs (Leadoff hitter, CF, power bat)? Theres a lot of talk of Rollins coming to the bay (but for 12+ mil and 5 years).
